shirtless nole: how long from sideshow to no-show?

Novak Djokovic had to call for the trainer during his 6-2, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (4) win against Mardy Fish in the Hopman Cup finals. The season hasn’t even started (the HC’s an exo) and already the trainer’s working on his back.

Enjoy his shirtless show while it lasts, folks. Who knows how much more we’ll see of it? At the rate he’s going, he’ll be retiring from the sport at the end of the season! (I hope he recovers in time to defend his Miami title…)

Score: While Nole might have won his men’s singles match, Team Serbia fell to the U.S. in the finals, with Serena notching her singles win in a walkover (due to Jelena Jankovic‘s upper thigh injury) and the Americans winning 7-6 (4), 6-2 in the mixed doubles match. Congrats.
